ITEM NOTES Cameron Platter’s ‘series of home- made drawings – each meticulously hand-worked and coloured in pencil crayon, are tapestries of a contem- porary South African experience; they are simple stories drawn and appropriated from the media, TV, films, art history, pornography, battle scenes, politics, music, signs, imagi- nation, adverts, and religion.’ 1 Platter’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York. 1.
